Maybe someone should contact the producers of these shows. Needless to say, doing things correctly would only support our efforts as safety professionals.

I also was surprised at the lack of safe practices in Medical Investigations.

I congratulate Ken - but my latest pet peeve - watch CSI (any of them)
and Medical Investigations - I have yet to see eye protection in the
laboratory setting (at the rifle range yes - lab no) and last nights
episode of Medical Investigations - not mask one even though they were
dealing with a very nasty bacteria.

My kids can even pick out the safety violations.

Ken Fivizzani, the Chair of the ACS Committee on Chemical Safety and
past
Chair of DivCHAS published an excellent opinion article (C&EN Nov. 29,
2004,
page 33) that I strongly recoomend to everyone on this list.  The URL is

Ken addresses an issue that has irked many of us and really goes to the
perception of a safe work environment - corporate photos showing unsafe
acts, such as being in a lab or plant w/o eye protection.

Ken once again is showing his excellent leadership - and diplomacy - in
publishing this comment.  I appreciate this fine effort and hope we all
can
take his wise words and share them with management at each of our
facilities.

Thank you - Ken --

Neal
